Answer:
Hope devised a simple arrangement, known as Hope's apparatus, to demonstrate the anomalous behaviour of water. ➠➠This apparatus is used to determine the temperature at which water has the maximum density. ... It is designed to demonstrate that water reaches its maximum density at 4 °C (39 °F).
The anomalous expansion of water refers to the fact that water, unlike most substances, expands when it freezes. The density of water increases as temperature decreases, but reaches a maximum at 4 degrees C then begins to expand. The significance of this is that ice is less dense than water so it floats in water.
